' Application filed. August 13, 1m. senai nafissasizfl The presentinvention relatesto a visor for 7 use in connection with automobiles andhas for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, avisor capable of being adjustably positioned to protect the eyes of thedriver of avehicle, without shutting off the drivers vision of the roadbefore him from the blinding effect from the glare from the headlightsof an approaching vehicle, from.

the sun rays and from snow and sand as well as the effect of rain orsnow striking the wind 7 shield of the vehicle.

A still further important object of the invention-resides in theprovision of a visor of this nature which is exceedingly simple in itsconstruction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, compactand convenient,- readily installed with respect to an automobile,clearly eflicient and reliable in itsuse and operation, easy to adjust,comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted tothe purpose for which it is designed.

WVith the above and numerous other bjects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain nov el featuresof construction, and in the com bination-and arrangement of parts aswill be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through theforward portion of the top of anautomobile showing my improved structureincorporated therewith, I Figure 2 is a longitudinal section throughrear end of the casing,

1 Figure 7 is a perspective view of one of the links, and o Figure 8 isa Perspective view' of theslide 7 block. 1 Y

Referring to the drawings indetail it will Figure 5 is a perspectiveView showing description thereof. V 1 r A The present embodiment'of theinvention has been disclosed in considerable detail be seen that thenumeral 5'denotes an @1011; gated casing disposed under the top 6 of an'automobile forwardly of'theupp'er rail? of the windshield frame and therear end of the casing is open while the forward end thereof is closedby an upwardly inclined plate8.- 'i. A hearing 9is provided inthe frontend of r the casing 5. A shaft 10'has the interme-' diate portionthereof threaded and the forward end journale'd in theblock9 while therear end is journaled through the rail 7 and has an operating knob 11thereon. i

/ A slide block l2 is mounted 1n thecasing 7 and the shaft 10 isthreaded therethrough. Links-14 are pivotally engaged with the block 12extending through slots 15' formed' inthe side ofthe'casing 5. i 1

Framesll? have transparent panelsf18 A mounted therein and are swingablymounted onahorizontal rod 19mounted in a sleeve 20formed on the frontend of the casing 5. These frames 17 are connected by bowed bars 21.Links 14 are pivotally engaged with adjacent ends of the frames 17. c

Fromthe above detailed description .it will be seen that by turning theknob 11 the :frames 17 may be swungfinwardly far enough "to behorizontally disposed; under the top 6 withthebars Qlllocatedscircumjacentthe' casing 7 or by turning the knob 1 1- in theopposite direction 'theframes V17 may be located at any desired angleindepending relation withthe top 6. Thus the visors formed. by thepanels 18 whi'chimay beof any desired color maybe disposed to ft hebestadvantage depending upon the? nature of the weather that is whether itis the sunrays, oncoming :h'eadlight V rays or whetherjit is snow, sleetor'rainiwhich it is desired to overc'omethe' ill effeetsof:

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages;of this invention'fl-will now be quite apparent to those skilled in thisart without merely for the purposes of exemplification since in" actualpractice it attains the. fear a 'more detailed i :Ha ing thusdeseribedmy inventiqmwwhat a Iselai mflas new isz: V
